As we've heard from Wheels24 before,
Volvo plans to offer a smaller XC in their lineup in the not-too-distant future. The
Volvo XC60 mid-size SUV, should be available to the public in late 2008. The news here comes from the folks at World Car Fans who say it will be dubbed
XC60, rather than XC50 and that it will share a platform with the
V70. Based on the
Ford C1
EUCD platform, the XC60 should sport familiar gas and
diesel engines from the
S40 and
V50. It is also expected to share much with the next-generation
Land Rover Freelander/LR3, including its trick AWD system.
Although only labeled a concept at this point, the car should be unveiled at the NAIAS in Detroit in January and go on sale as early as Spring 2008. Expected to be approximately the same size as the Toyota RAV4, it will compete a bit further upscale with the likes of the Lexus RX, BMW X3 and new Acura RDX. Styling is conservative and the family resemblance is unmistakable if this rendering is accurate.
